Pollinators love  to drink the sugary-sweet nectar that is made by flowers at the base of the pistil.

When the little pollinators go in to suck up the nectar, they brush against the anthers and get pollen on their bodies.

Pollinators move from flower to flower in search of more sweet nectar.

When they land on a flower, the pollen will rub off their body onto the pistil. If the pollen ends up near the opening at the top of the pistil, the pollen will make it sway down the pistil to the egg.  When the egg and the pollen unite, a seed is formed.

A seed has everything it needs to form a new plant.
